Lifestraw Go bottle filters your water as you drink, and is on sale for as low as $31

By Lucas Coll Updated June 15, 2022

Lifestraw Go water bottle

When you’re outdoors, clean water can be hard to come by, and it’s difficult to carry enough with you if you’re going to be on the trail for awhile. Even water that looks clean may still be tainted with microscopic organisms or other contaminants, so a good portable filter is a must-have for camping, hiking, or traveling in areas where filtered water is not readily available.

Lifestraw is a popular handheld filter that lets you get water from unclean sources and completely purifies it as you drink. This requires you to place the filter directly into the water source and sip from it, but it’s not an ideal solution since it provides no way to store the filtered liquids. The

Lifestraw Go

solves this little problem by integrating the filter straw with a bottle, so you can have purified water with you wherever you are.

The Lifestraw Go bottle has a capacity of 23 ounces, and is made of durable BPA-free Tritan plastic. The filter unit inside the bottle works just like the standard Lifestraw, actively filtering out dirt, toxins, parasites, and more as you drink.

The filter works in two stages to remove contaminants: The hollow fiber membrane traps bacteria, protozoa, and other microscopic undesirables without having to use chemicals like iodine, which can make your water taste funky. The second stage uses an activated carbon filter that virtually eliminates chlorine, odors, and any unpleasant aftertaste. This tested two-stage process has been shown to get rid of 99.9 percent of microscopic parasites and 99.9999 percent of bacteria.

The Lifestraw Go normally costs around $50 but you can save up to $14 on Amazon depending on which color you buy: The

Best Buy's 48-hour flash sale includes price cuts for various models of Dyson cordless vacuums, so if you've had an eye on these cleaning devices for a while, now's your chance to get one for much cheaper than usual. There are a lot of options to choose from though, so we've gathered our favorite Dyson deals to help you with your decision.

Dyson V7 Advanced Origin -- $300, was $400

The Dyson V7 Advanced Origin is one of the brand's more affordable cordless vacuums, but it still has what it takes to keep your whole home clean with its powerful suction and whole-machine filtration that captures pet allergens and fine dust while expelling clean air. The cordless vacuum also features a detangling Motorbar cleaner head, which deep cleans carpets and hard floors while clearing pet hair from the brush bar using hair removal vanes. It quickly switches to a handheld vacuum with one click, and it can run for up to 40 minutes on a single charge.

If you've been waiting for a discount on the GoPro Hero 11 Black, check this out -- the action camera is down to $400 from Best Buy, for savings of $100 on its original price of $500. GoPro is still the most trusted name in the action camera space, so we expect this offer to attract a lot of attention and possibly sell out quickly. If you want to get the device for cheaper than usual, you're going to have to proceed with the purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the GoPro Hero 11 Black
The GoPro Hero 11 Black looks very similar to the GoPro Hero 10 Black, which is a pro-consumer move because that means you can keep using accessories from the older model when you upgrade. All of the improvements are under the hood though, including a larger sensor that will let you shoot horizontal and vertical footage at the same time without having to choose between the two formats. The GoPro Hero 11 Black can shoot 5.3K video at up to 60 frames per second, 4K at up to 120 frames per second, and 2.7K at up to 240 frames per second for super slow-motion.
